Granular visibility into all entitlements, permissions, and roles
Integrations for every application, including full support for non-SCIM, on-prem, and homegrown systems.
One-click, auditor-ready reports with comprehensive, detailed information.
Built for scale; can handle enterprise-scale reviews containing over 1 million items.

Okta Identity Governance
An add-on product; a mix of native and acquired tech with an uneven user experience.
Group-based only. Lacks visibility into granular entitlements, which is often insufficient for audits.
Relies on the OIN catalog; has poor connectivity for homegrown, on-prem, and non-SCIM apps.
Reports are group-based and often insufficient for external auditors.
Not built for enterprise scale; struggles with large or complex access review campaigns.
An uneven, clunky UX that requires navigating complex workflows.

Top 5 reasons security leaders prefer C1

Time to value

The biggest ROI we have seen is in time. We have communicated to leadership and management our estimates and I'm very confident that the tool pays for itself.

Full visibility and control

Every step of the process is visible in the C1 audit log—we haven’t had a single question about the audit path that we haven't been able to answer easily.
